I spoke with GoDaddy directly by calling their main sales department at (480) 505-8877 and asked them specifically about this number, and they said that it was a valid number and is for their Field Billing. Basically it's the team that tries to collect on overdue balances.. not exactly debt collectors, but apparently not the friendliest people either.
Just received a call from these guys about my website renewal. NOT SCAMMERS. I had received an email from godaddy yesterday saying my account was up for renewal, and the woman who called already had all of my credit card info on file and did NOT me to divulge any of it. Unless Godaddy was hacked thoroughly, this obviously would not be possible. Within 5 minutes of the call I had a receipt in my email from godaddy.com. Went to the website to check my account, and that confirmed it, as well.
Received a call from this number. The caller said he was from Godaddy. I told him I will call him back. After 10 minutes I called GoDaddy using the number listed on their website and they confirmed that they had called me earlier. Seems legit
It is from GoDaddy's Customer Development Team. They call all new customers as well as those with expiring items. They are legit and professional. They also call for other registrars that are really just selling GoDaddy products under a private label.
Having worked for GoDaddy I know this to be legitimate, and they are one of the best customer oriented companies you an find out there. And for the most part they treat their employees like rockstars too.
So interesting reading the comments here.... Read on: Yes, it is GoDaddy. Is it legitimate? Yes AND No. I looked up the number on this site because someone from this number called a customer of mine, who was confused by the phone call and called me. See, I run a web company which offers domain registrations and we took over as this client's registrar from GoDaddy in 2008. So is it a legitimate call? Well, they are obviously going through a very old customer database and trying to woo any former clients back.
